Mrs. Stone's third grade class participates in a STEM activity every Friday. This week, students used 3Dux cardboard connectors to build a house that had a window sill that could hold a pretend pie. Mrs. Stone based this activity on a story the class read this week in their language arts class titled, "The Trial of Cardigan Jones." The kids got really creative as they figured out how to use the different angles and made all kinds of accessories that also tied into the story. Students came up with some amazing creations!

Students in Mrs. Whitley's 5th grade took advantage of the summer like weather this week. Students repurposed pizza boxes in the construction of mini solar ovens. They heated up marshmallows and chocolate using the power of the sun. The payoff for all the work was a delicious s'more and newly gained knowledge!
Please watch for the family folder that is coming home with more important paperwork that needs completed and returned. Thank you!

The third grade introduced their weekly STEM projects on Friday, focusing on learning to work together and persevere in solving problems. Their Language Arts story for the week talked about a younger brother who wanted to learn how to swing; their STEM project was to design a swing for the little brother. Students worked with partners to build a swingset using various materials. They then presented their swingsets to the class and answered the following questions: What materials did you use, and what problem did you have to solve as you built? They did a wonderful job!
Our 8th grade students have been learning about waves in Mrs. Haworth's class. In this picture, students are bouncing light beams through mazes using low intensity lasers and mirrors.
The second graders have been learning about seed dispersal this past week. One of the lessons included a fun activity where Mrs. D. popped balloons with seeds inside. Students made predictions and then measured the distance seeds traveled. In nature, some plants are stimulated to release seeds in explosive ways. One local example is the jewelweed.
Check out the pictures of our second graders participating in this lesson.
The Lake Linden-Hubbell Lakes visited E.B. Holman this afternoon and challenged our Stanton Wildcats to a game of basketball.
